Viola Davis to Leonardo DiCaprio: Five wonderful Oscar speeches you need to hear again

Since then, actors and technicians have come and graced the stage and delivered some of the most poetic (and hilarious) lines known to mankind. Oscars have been around for a long time. “It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else’s,” she began. It seemed wise to revise and remember what then stuck out as warm, witty and stunning. Also, she concluded her speech in the most powerful and hopeful manner by saying, “No matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid.”

People have won Oscars before, and people have been jubilant and disappointed with those wins. And I say, exhume those bodies, exhume those stories. Of course, people wanted the man to take home the award not just because of his skills as an actor, but because of his voice. And as one YouTuber had commented, and I concur, even in one of his most moving and happiest moments, the actor didn’t forget to talk about global warming and climate change, a subject he has been vocal and passionate about for a while. And he kept the speech short, sweet and hilarious. Well, all I can say is that he didn’t disappoint. Typical Morgan.

She continued, “People ask me all the time, what kind of stories do you want to tell, Viola? 2018-02-26T06:30:09+00:00″>
